[Shadow aok]

Could you give me the url of your ticket please ?

I received a response of OVH: they are aware of the problems with their email redirection service but do not want to fix it :-( They told me it works sometimes and that should be sufficient...

It seems that mxb and redirect actually encounter problems.

Hi,
I use the OVH redirection on my domain. And configured these 2 mailservers:

xxxx.be. 85884 IN MX 1 redirect.ovh.net.
xxxx.be. 85884 IN MX 100 mxb.ovh.net.

I noticed that these servers are slow or down very often (see logs below). My mailserver has to try to connect several times.

Should I use different mailserver in my zone? Is this an error from OVH or some strange greylisting technique ?

Thanks,
Bram.
